An excellent evenings viewing. 3 quite different films.
Storms: The Movie won't be to everyone's taste. Some wacky micky takes out of some classic mountaineering books/films and people. Not sure who Chris Boneington is! (Not its not a spelling mistake). He's the bearded guy at the top of the report.
The evening got more serious with "Twice upon a time in Bolivia". A humorous account of climbing some of Bolivia's easier classic peaks. Some amazing filming in this one. Well worthy of the Kendal award.
To top it all, the last serious film was about the life of the legendary rock and Ice climber Dave Birkett. A great insight into a remarkable Lake District climber.
I would recommend watching these films if you get the chance. Well worth the trip up from Kendal for the evening. A shame there weren't many people there.
